Description - Migrancy, Culture, Identity by Iain Chambers
In "Migrancy, Culture, Identity", Iain Chambers unravels how our sense of place and identity is realised as we move through myriad languages, worlds and histories. The author explores the uncharted impact of cultural diversity on today's world, from the "realistic" eye of social commentary to the "scientific" approach of the cultural anthropologist or the critical distance of the historian; from the computer screen to the Walkman and "World Music". The text examines the disturbance and dislocation of history, culture and identity that faces all of us, to explore how migration, marginality and homelessness have disrupted the West's faith in linear progress and rational thinking, undermining our knowledge, and cultural identity.
